Special Announcement!

That’s right, the Twilight Fan Panel is back. This year we have a diverse group of Twilight fan fiction authors. They are ready to share their unique experience and opinions on reading and writing fan fiction in the Twilight fandom. We invite you to join us at the 2011 San Diego Comic Convention for what we hope is a lively, enthusiastic and fun discussion.

Name: BelPenname: belladonna1472Where to find me: FFnet: belladonna1472, Twitter: @belladonna1472Stories:The Cullen Campaign, Dear Mr. Masen(co-author)Who the hell am I? I'm a bit of a random person. I'd rather teach politics, write fic and learn graphic design skillz than use my law degree. But hey, life is short, right? I enjoy being part of this fandom and have met so many great people over the last two years. Things that may surprise you: I'm Australian, I don't really like writing lemons, I can't whistle, and I love bad television shows.

Name: JeannePenname: Einfach MichWhere you can find me: FFnet: einfach mich, Twitter: @einfach_mich, Author Blog: Einfach MichStories:Confessions of a Difficult Woman, Paper Flower, Two Lonley Hearts, Fall in the LightWho the hell am I? I’m a geek, writer, reader and longtime fangirl. I’ve been writing fan fiction for years, but only recently started posting it (in the Twilight fandom for the past two years). Many people know me for being an outspoken (aka loudmouth) on my Twitter and for smutting it up with my fellow pervs over at The Perv Pack’s Smut Shack. My greatest ambition in the Twilight fandom is to spread the love for non-canon pairings (righting the wrongs done to so many awesome characters like Leah Clearwater) and do everything in my power to make this fandom a safe, sane place for my fellow fans (readers and writers alike). My plan for Comic Con is to meet friends (old and new), have great conversations about whatever and to drink until I end up dancing on a table.

Name: MagsPenname: Magnolia822Where to find me: FFnet: Magnolia822, Twitter: @Magnolia822, Author Blog: magnolia822Stories: An Acquired Taste, A Quiet Fire, Strange Brew, The Cullen SutrasWho the hell am I? Ah, existential questions. I'm a graduate student, wife, lover of all things pervy, but I suppose I'm a romantic at heart. Most of my writing focuses on E/B, but I love playing withcanon and writing the characters in unexpected ways. A year ago I'd never have considered myself a fiction writer, but now it's all I seem to do! I look forward to this opportunity to meet writers and readers from the fandom and chatting about our secret obsession. This is my first time at Comic Con, so I guess you could say I'm excited and a little nervous.

Name: MJPenname: MJinAspenWhere to find me: FFnet: mjinaspen, Twitter: @mjinaspen, Author Blog: MjinaspenStories:Reality Minus Expectations, Renfield's Paraphelia, Hair of the Dog, TripsWho the hell am I? I manage a NP that provides recreational programs for people with disabilities. My work is my life, so it's pretty fortunate that my husband is my PR & Marketing person! I've been married for almost 7 years, but we aren't lucky enough to have any human children. We do have the best dog and cat ever, though. I've been a SciFi film and TV show geek my entire life, watched Dr. Who with my dad in the 70s on PBS, am a HUGE fan of Joss Whedon, and one of my all-time favorite films is Blade Runner. I like to read Mysteries and some Romance, but I love Humor infused into anything I read. Character development is an essential part of any story for me, whether it be books, movies or television. Joss is God, and Dave Grohl is Love.

Name: RochellePenname: Rochelle AllisonWhere to find me: FFnet: Rochelle_Allison, @roglows, LJ: Roglows_here, A Different Forest: Rochelle_AllisonStories:Volitinon, Starry Eyed Inside, With or Without You, AirWho the hell am I? I write mainly ExB AH, but I'm about to delve in to AU with my next fic. I'll read mostly anything, though, as long as it's well written. At CC, I'm looking forward to the Twilight fanfic panel as well as the Breaking Dawn panel, and also anything having to do with Star Wars. Also, I can't wait for fandom meet-ups. That's probably what I'm most excited about: finally hanging out with the people I'm always with online.

Name: LeiahPenname: ScarlettLettersWhere to find me: FFnet: scarlettletters, Twitter: @scarlettlettersStories:Wild Swan (still unfinished, yes, yes, I know) and The Great UnknownWho the hell am I? I'm a fan, a reader, a sometimes-not very often writer. I am very excited to be the moderator for this amazing panel of authors. I can't wait to ask them all the questions the fans submit!

I don't really have a question for the panel (yet) but I am hoping that you can record/podcast the panel for those of us who can't make SD. Pretty please. I'm totally making that puss in the boots face!
